AŞAP ROCKY, SECURES A SPOT AMONG THE NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW’S TOP 10 INDEPENDENT FILMS OF 2025

‎In a year overflowing with daring cinema, unexpected debuts, and genre-bending storytelling, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You has surged ahead as one of the most talked-about indie films of 2025 — and now it has the recognition to match. The National Board of Review has officially named the A$AP Rocky–led project one of the Top 10 Independent Films of the Year, solidifying its place as a breakout cultural moment and one of the most audacious artistic swings of Rocky’s career. ‎ ‎Directed by rising auteur Jalen Mercer, the film blends dark humor, surreal drama, and raw emotional undercurrents into a narrative that defies easy categorization. A$AP Rocky delivers a career-redefining performance as “Kade Reno,” a sharp-witted but emotionally fractured street philosopher navigating a world that constantly tests his patience, pride, and sense of purpose. With lines that cut like poetry and scenes that pivot from chaotic to tender in a heartbeat, Rocky anchors the film with an intensity that critics are praising as both magnetic and deeply unexpected. ‎ ‎The title alone — If I Had Legs I’d Kick You — became an instant conversation starter when the film first premiered on the festival circuit. What seemed like a joke or a chaotic meme phrase turned out to be one of the story’s central themes: frustration in its purest form. The film explores the invisible barriers that keep people from fighting back, speaking up, or breaking free, and Rocky’s character embodies that struggle with a blend of humor and heartbreak that has resonated with audiences across the world. ‎#celebrities #celebritynews #celebrityrelationships #rihanna #rihannanews #asaprockynews #asaprocky #celebbusscentral #asaprockyrihanna #ASAPRocky #IfIHadLegsIdKickYou #IndependentFilm #NBR2025 #Top10Films #FilmRecognition #IndieCinema #ASAPRockyFilm #Rocky2025 #FilmAwardsSeason #Cinema2025 #MovieBuzz #HollywoodNews #IndieFilmSpotlight #FilmIndustry
